A survey of smoking prevalence and attitudes was made among medical students randomly selected from classes at the Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan. Of 271 respondents, 14.4% were current smokers (22.0% male and 3.8% females) and 3.3% ex-smokers. A majority of students recognized the dangers associated with active as well as passive smoking although only 55% of current smokers planned to quit in the near future. Most smokers (96%) believed that they as well as other health professionals needed training on smoking cessation and 95% of all students believed that doctors should play a role model in smoking cessation by not smoking themselves. Specific training and counselling should be a part of the required curriculum at medical schools.
对从巴基斯坦卡拉奇阿迦汗大学各班级中随机抽取的医学生进行了吸烟率和态度的调查。在271名受访者中，14.4%为当前吸烟者（男性占22.0%，女性占3.8%），3.3%为曾经吸烟者。大多数学生认识到主动吸烟和被动吸烟的危害，尽管只有55%的当前吸烟者计划在不久的将来戒烟。大多数吸烟者（96%）认为他们以及其他健康专业人员需要接受戒烟培训，95%的学生认为医生应该以身作则，自己不吸烟，在戒烟方面发挥榜样作用。专门的培训和咨询应该成为医学院校必修课程的一部分。
